In einem Interview mit Backstage Axxess sagte Cavalera: "I'm actually writing right now. I'm collecting the riffs right now and getting the ideas." und fügte hinzu: "I'm excited, because I think the album will have a little bit of a return to some tribal sounds that I haven't done since »Prophecy«. So that'll be cool, to return to some of that. And then the rest of the album will be a continuation of »Archangel«; a lot of people like »Archangel«. And, of course, I think that it will be also somehow influenced by »Psychosis«, 'cause »Psychosis« was such a cool record that I'm sure that somewhere in the SOULFLY record we'll have the influence of that on top of it too. So it'll be a really cool record to work on."

In einem weiteren Interview mit der No Limits Music Show erklärte er, dass das nächste SOULFLY-Album "deeply tribal, very spiritual" sein wird. "There's a concept. I cannot tell you much about it, 'cause it's kind of a surprise. But there is a concept behind the record, and I have not done a record with a concept like this since »Roots«. So this one has got the same kind of feeling that »Roots« has."
